Synopsis

More than half of the people of Hong Kong live in heavily subsidized public housing and many are still waiting to be accommodated. This study shows that, unfortunately, the public housing programme has failed to meet basic objectives of efficiency and equity. Considering political consequences, economic benefits, equity effects, social impact and moral dimensions, the author ponders over the issues of privatization.
